Plexamid

I find that a tent is good to keep my dogs contained while I'm sleeping. Even the most well trained dog is easily distracted in the wilderness and will want to explore overnight. I know that some people let their dogs wander, but a small dog like that could easily be prey. When I had one medium size dog (a 50 lb Boxer), I was able to sleep with her in a larger 1P tent (ZPacks plexamid), but with two dogs or my current large dog (90 lbs) I have to use a 2P tent, current mainly a Durston x-mid 2 pro.

You might also throw a ZPacks Plex Solo into the mix. My old ZPacks Plexamid is probably my favorite tent ever, and if my dog were smaller, I would still be using it. ZPacks catches a lot of flack, but I found the quality perfectly adequate, and I like the way that Zpacks prioritizes low weight, and doesn't add features just in order to be able to brag about them. I find their gear totally fit for purpose and not overbuilt. But when I upgraded from a 50 lb dog to a 95lb dog, I also needed to upsize my tent. I'm currently mostly using a Xmid 2 Pro, and it's a great tent, but the large footprint is challenging in many of my alpine destinations and I would be happy to save 6-8 oz.

Zpacks Altaplex and Plexamid. Prior, Nemo Hornet Elite 2p. Several REI tents: half dome quarter dome etc. A Kelty 2p tent from the 2000s. I understand the general concern - but again - as long as you do the little things right you're gonna be fine. For example. You wouldn't set up a tent on a completely exposed ridgeline above 10k ft on a windy day in the Rockies. You could have 100+ mph winds; and if you weren't in it then indeed you'd have no more tent at all. You wouldn't not stake it down. You shouldn't leave it entirely empty. Etc. Etc. Tents, and their strength, it's really about proper tension and taughtness in the guylines and dimensions of the tent. A few years ago in Eagle Cap a severe storm came through while establishing my tent setup. It was monsooning at the same time. Therefore I half assed my setup. 10 minutes later massive gusts ripped a stake out the ground folding the tent in half while I was in it. Buttt that was on me. Poor setup. I got out during the chaos. Re-established the integrity of the hold points - and proceeded to get little to no sleep through the treacherous storm. But was perfectly dry and unaffected. Choose a good tent. Choose a smart campsite. Set it up with good proper tension. All will be fine. If through hikers can make it with a single tent - you'll be fine with whatever you choose.

This was my point. For the conditions this tent is picturing you just don’t need a 4 season tent. An MLD duomid, x-mid, any lighter tent, even maybe the lightest tent on the market (z packs soloplex, which weighs like 300g) will withstand 40mph gusts. I’ve had my duomid out in AT LEAST sustained 40mph gusts with no protection and it was fine. I live in the UK and have hiked more than 1000 miles in the last 3 years including winter trips in Scotland. I agree, no one needs ‘ultralight’ gear, but no one needs a 6kg tent unless they’re going to Antarctica which quite clearly OP is not. Even a 2kg tent (still heavy) would be more reasonable, and not expensive. There’s so many reviewed on this sub.

Keep in mind that the Lanshan 2Pro is a single wall tent. Which means any condensation you get on the inside of the tent at night will get you wet if you brush up against it with your body, or with the foot of your sleeping bag. I've slept in Zpacks single wall tents before. Condensation isn't the end of the world but it does require either more careful thought and planning about where you camp, or actively managing the condensation by wiping down the inside of the tent with a small towel.

25 and 30oz for a 1 person? My big Agnes cooper sour ul 3 person is 40 oz The lightest and best 1P I know of is the zpacks 1P

Just looked and I have the 3P XL. Packaged weight is 4lbs 😮and I don't use the stuff sacks and only 4 stakes so weighed in at about 6 oz over 3lbs. I have heard great things about durston but my next UL 1P will be the zpacks as I've loved them when I see them on the trail.

Camping Gear covers so many areas, but I assume you mean your sleep kit and mess kit. Ultralight Backpacks: HMG (Hyperlite Mountain Gear), Z-Packs, Gossamer Gear Traditional Backpacks: Osprey, Gregory, Deuter is ayt Tents: Durston Gear, HMG, Z-Packs (Budget Tents: 3F UL Gear / Naturehike) Sleeping Bag: Western Mountaineering, NEMO, Feathered Friends, Therm-a-Rest Budget SB's: Naturehike) Sleeping Pad: NEMO, Therm-a-Rest, Sea to Summit (Budget: Naturehike) Pillow: Sea to Summit (Budget: Naturehike) Stove: MSR, JetBoil (Budget: Naturehike) Water Filtration System: Sawyer Squeeze, Lifestraw Sorry, but The North Face doesn't really excel in this area. The only exception is their Summit Series Line; they've leaned more towards streetwear, in my opinion. Plus, they've pulled out of local distribution in the Philippines. Just in Case you're asking about clothes and shoes, too easy. Arc'teryx, Outdoor Research, Norrona, Patagonia, Mammut, Rab (Budget: Decathlon, Naturehike, Ukay) Shoes: Salomon... and second, Hoka. (Budget: Same Brands but Ukay)

DCF tent from Zpack. I have been thru some big storms with these and no failures if guyed out well.
